MWR Staff·

Gate fees at Midwest motocross tracks vary more than you'd expect — from $10 day-use passes at county OHV parks to $40+ entry fees at major race events. Here's a breakdown of what you'll actually pay at the gate, by track type and state.


Open Practice Fees by State (Typical Range)

Kansas $20–$30 Free–$5

Nebraska $20–$30 Free–$5
Illinois $20–$35 $5–$10
Minnesota $20–$30 $5
Oklahoma $20–$30 $5

Race Day Fees (Typical Range)

Race entry fees in the Midwest run $30–$50 per class, with most tracks offering a discounted rate for a second class entry. Some tracks charge a separate gate fee on top of the race entry; others bundle it in.

Typical race day breakdown: - Gate/pit pass: $5–$15 per person - Race entry (first class): $30–$45 - Second class discount: $20–$30 - Practice before racing: Sometimes included, sometimes $10–$20 extra

How to Save Money at Midwest Tracks

  1. Buy a season pass — many tracks offer unlimited season passes for $150–$300
  2. Look for club memberships — especially in KS and NE where clubs own tracks
  3. Avoid race weekends if you just want practice — gates are cheaper and less crowded
  4. Bring exact cash — rural tracks often can't process cards
